Non-soft redirect to Wiktionary masquerading as article, many have edited page to make it an article,although it shouldn't. groig (talk) 22:07, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some RS news articles that legitimize the term. Another option is to add it in Glossary of anime and manga? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:08, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Retarget to Glossary of anime and manga#Waifu as I've added the definition to the glossary and supported the mainstream definition with some RS'es. It is in the fandom section. Also okay with keeping it pointed to Kimura. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 21:28, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support retargeting to the glossary article. It has grown outside of just being an Azumanga Daioh quote, so this seems more appropriate.--IDVtalk 13:46, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:RFOREIGN. According to the creation request, the language is Tamil. -- Tavix (talk) 23:39, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also be fine with a retarget to Natpu. Thanks for finding that, Angus! -- Tavix (talk) 00:05, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was disambiguate Cognoscenti, retargeting the others there. --BDD (talk) 20:44, 23 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Two of these were up for deletion on the Neelix list, but Cognescenti is not a Neelix redirect (created to disambiguate Cognoscenti (comics)). I'm unsure what to do with these, so I'll bring them up for further input. From reading wikt:cognoscente, it seems like Connoisseur would be a closer match? -- Tavix (talk) 22:00, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm just trying to figure out how it can survive WP:DABDIC if the comics character is not involved. Use a "redirects here" hatnote instead? If it's a dab, it can have the comics character, the PTM as a See also, and other close words like: Cognizant, Cognescent (Thomas Reardon), Cognizance AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 13:32, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Mr. Guye: That's an argument for not deleting it, but that's not all this discussion is about. What would you think about retargeting to Connoisseur? -- Tavix (talk) 15:31, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Tavix: Disambiguate, since Connoisseur says: A specialist in a given field whose opinion is highly valued, especially in one of the fine arts or in matters of taste, Expert: A person with extensive knowledge or ability in a given subject. Cognoscente: Someone possessing superior or specialized knowledge in a particular field; a connoisseur. In terms of scope: Expert > Cognoscente > Connoisseur. These are 3 different words with 3 different meanings and 3 different connotations. I prefer disambiguation. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  19:20, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto. The correctly-spelled dab page New York (disambiguation) was moved to New York; we are cleaning up useless links. The misspelling of this title is addressed at New-York — JFG talk 13:11, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The reason why these three redirects with "(disambiguation)" appendage were created was that all incoming redirects to a disambiguation page should have a "shadow" redirect including the "(disambiguation)" qualifier as well - at least this is how I understood the system so far. The rationale for this is that some hatnote templates automatically append "(disambiguation)" to parameters when creating links to disambiguation pages.
To put it in other words, if we have a redirect like "New-York" to a disambiguation page like "New York", we also need a redirect named "New-York (disambiguation)". In a perfect world, the latter would point to "New-York" in order to make things easier would "New-York" be changed to point elsewhere or changed into an article later on, but since double redirects are avoided for technical reasons, we have no other option than to point it to the target of the "New-York" redirect instead, that is "New York". Basically, the redirect "New-York" can be thought of as being a disambiguation page in disguise.
If this rational still holds true, the nominated redirect should be kept, otherwise it can be deleted. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 22:57, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Good point. This would be justified if we had incoming links to the misspelled dab title New-York (disambiguation), but we don't (and rightly so): the only pages that link there are this RfD and lists of RfDs[1]. Safely delete, and keep just the misspelled New-York. — JFG talk 23:41, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Example. Things are easier to explain using examples: We have an article about the HP Saturn microprocessor family. One of the processors has a codename "New-Yorke" (no typo), because it is the successor of another processor codenamed "Yorke" (names derived from York (slave)). So, we could argue that the "New-Yorke" redirect should point to this page. If so, we'd probably add a hatnote using the {{redir}} template. Using the syntax {{redir|New-Yorke}} this hatnote would display:
"New-Yorke" redirects here. For other uses, see New-Yorke (disambiguation).
That is, it would automatically point to "New-Yorke (disambiguation)", not "New York (disambiguation)" or "New York".
--Matthiaspaul (talk) 23:35, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oh now I see why we have "New-Yorke" and not "New-Yorki" or "New-Yorku": it's not a misspelling, it's the HP processor! Let's redirect there, case closed. No other use, no hatnote. — JFG talk 23:44, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Done, and pushed New Yorke for deletion as unlikely misspelling. — JFG talk 01:43, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that was just an example because it nicely illustrated the rationale behind the generic principle for using those "(disambiguation)" appendages. Of course, I thought of your suggested solution as well when I created those redirects originally. However, there were two reasons why I decided against it eventually:
1) Given that "New Yorke" could well be a spelling variant of / typo for "New York", the hatnote on the "HP Saturn" page would still be needed, in particular because "New York" in general is much more important than this processor.
2) Since people may not know the proper spelling of the processor's codename, many would arrive at the "New York" disambiguation page (where we should have an entry for "HP New-Yorke". If so, "New-Yorke" would have to redirect to the disambiguation page "New York" as we typically do for such minor spelling variants.
--Matthiaspaul (talk) 09:20, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Wasn't aware of the HP New-Yorke redirect, I believe that's the best title for this, and we should remove the bare "New Yorke" and "New-Yorke". In my opinion the processor wouldn't fit in the New York dab page because it's a WP:PTM and because it was never even produced or marketed under that name. — JFG talk 15:55, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are two reasons why X (disambiguation) might be useful:
  • X has a primary topic, described in article X, and several other topics, listed in X (disambiguation)
  • X has no primary topic, so X is a disambiguation page; we mark deliberate links to X by using redirect X (disambiguation)
Neither case applies here. Certes (talk) 20:32, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Seems the two organisations have split (per Ticket:2017062910022621). They have requested this redirect no longer exists Mdann52 (talk) 22:36, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: Subject request. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  01:12, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Much as the subject would like not to mention ESTA, it is part of their merger/acquisition history as much as it had started with BADEM. The question is whether any notable acquisitions and merged companies that don't have an article should be redirected to this article. Is it a 50-50 merge or a 90-10 kind of acquisition where the 10% isn't really that notable? I removed the "See also" entry for ESTA. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 16:59, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with AngusWOOF that this is really a notability question. If ESTA is independently notable, there's an article in the history of the redirect we can restore. If not, I'd say to keep it as-is. The two organizations have a lot of overlapping history, and there's a lot of information on ESTA at the current target. -- Tavix (talk) 00:34, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

delete This was apparently the subject of a lame edit war years ago, but seeing as how the number of such locations is probably closing in on Avogadro's number by now, nobody will ever find any such list in the main article. Isn't time for this to go away? Mangoe (talk) 21:17, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Outdated redirect. Such a list would be ludicrous, as not only are there so many locations, it is a highly dynamic number.

The result of the discussion was delete. I figure I might as well close this since I no longer hold an opinion on the matter and there's consensus for deletion. -- Tavix (talk) 12:20, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest deletion, as it redirects Walter J. Haas to his father Walter A. Haas Jr., and not to an entry about himself. This for example creates (a confusing) circular references in Walter A. Haas Jr. אבגמד (talk) 13:00, 30 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am listing this redirect for @Saqib:. It was initially listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Duraid Qureshi with the reason: "redirect of a non-notable person." I personally have No opinion on this redirect. menaechmi (talk) 14:16, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • That's not a reason for deletion, even if valid. The fact that someone isn't notable only means that we can't have an article on them, it doesn't mean we can't have a redirect to some other article that mentions them. Hut 8.5 20:12, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
